- There are no parables,
as a special form of allegory found in John. The word rendered "parable" in John 10:6 is not the
word so rendered in the Synoptics. The word which John uses (paroimia) is better translated
"allegory." It occurs elsewhere only in John 16:25, 29 and 2 Peter 2:22, where it is rendered
"proverb."
